Building a strong vocabulary is a crucial part of any ELA instruction. So I am offering up this free vocabulary journal. It could be used in many ways. I make about 15 copies of the third page (back to back) and bind them with a cover. Each child has their own book. We fill them in during large group reading time, and students pull them out again during writing to use the words. I provided a color and black and white cover.

I received the Crystal Apple Award from N.B.C. News. The "Excellence in Teaching" Award was given to me by the Los Angeles Unified School District's Los Angeles Educational Partnership. My Math Team won the first place trophy four times in the Los Angeles Unified School District's Math Tournament. I am most proud of my after school Accelerated Reader Program in which Huntington Drive students have read thousands of books each year.
In 2000, I became a National Board Certified Teacher and renewed my certification in 2009. I have been a teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District since 1982.
